The Minnesota Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions 16-13 and can blame no one but themselves. There is such a small margin for error that any mistake is magnified. They made two of them in the final two minutes that gave the game away.
Offense: D-
The Vikings’ offense had a few bright moments, but fell short of putting together a complete offensive performance. Matt Asiata scored a five-yard touchdown in the first half on the Vikings’ first possession of the game. However, the team’s biggest issues came in the fourth quarter. After taking the lead with 12:41 left, they ran just nine plays for 23 yards over their final two offensive possessions.
